In one of last Friday’s episodes of Tyler Perry’s House of Payne, titled “God Bless the Paynes,” Calvin (Lance Gross) was shot by the man who’d earlier harassed Miranda (Keshia Knight Pulliam). He’s rushed to the hospital but his fate is unknown.
We’ve received a few emails from readers who believe that next week’s episodes will be the end of the series and the death of Calvin. While House of Payne has been “cancelled,” there are a lot more episodes still to come.
In April 2011, TBS announced that they were ending the venerable sitcom, in part to make way for Tyler Perry’s For Better or Worse. At that time, we understood the final episode total for House of Payne to be 220 installments.
In late September, Perry posted on his Facebook page that TBS had ordered 42 more episodes. In December, the cast and crew had a wrap party that celebrated the completion of 254 episodes. It’s unclear if they’ll be going back into production now that the holidays are over but, based on the numbers we have, it seems like they still have at least eight more installments to make.
In the meantime, we do know that this Friday’s episodes of House of Payne aren’t the last. Two new episodes will air each Friday night for the next six weeks. Episodes 223 and 224 will air on February 17th and that will leave about 30 episodes left in the series.
In the meantime, you should know that Calvin does not die from his gunshot wounds. He lives and, at least in the next couple episodes, has to worry about paying his hospital bills because he doesn’t have insurance.
What do you think? Are you a fan of House of Payne? Are you glad to know there are more episodes on the way?

I love tyler perry and support his work. I was hard broken knowing that calvin was shot and struggling to call for help. PLEASE CONTINUE WITH HOUSE OF PAYNE!!!
I love the House of Payne Series. I am sad that they are going to cancell that series. I love Tyler Perry. He is awesome!!!! His new series, I’m sure will be good, but House of Payne is the best. I also love his, Meet the Browns, series. I am so glad that he is incorporating God and Jesus into his stuff. Thank you, Tyler. God Bless You!!!!
I have been a fan since the show been on and i have always wanted to meet the cast and i also know that Curtis and Mrs. payne is togther in real life and corra andwe Mr brown are
Wow. This show is so good and deals with important issues that impact all people. Three and a half men can stay on with it’s single message on sex while this very entertaining show gets cancelled. Terrible!
I absolutely LOVE House of Payne this show is o ne of the reasons I actually buys DVDs! PLEASE do not end it yet I think that we should see the twins & mirands’s baby (christen) grow up a lot more and miranda she get a daughter! I can’t get enough of House of Payne!
